You know, there ought to be a law against ripping off consumers.

Police in East Texas have arrested a woman after she called them to complain about the quality of the marijuana she had purchased from a dealer.

Lufkin police Sgt. David Casper said Monday that an officer went to the home of 37-year-old Evelyn Hamilton to hear her complaint that the dealer refused to return her money after she objected that the drug was substandard.

Well, who the hell did you expect her to call?  Eric Holder?

But how you know this could only happen in Texas is —

Casper says she pulled the small amount of marijuana from her bra when the officer asked if she still had it.

In Texas, your bra is your storage facility when you do not wish to carry a purse.  Lipstick, money, a candy bar, some Tums, a cell phone, and vast amounts of etc. go in your bra.  I have made actual clanking sounds when removing my bra in the evening.

I know you people from Ohio or Nebraska are asking, “But doesn’t that mean there’s bulges in your upper regions?”  Well, duh.  That’s the whole point.  We don’t need no damn plastic surgery.  And if some fool man complains when you take off your bra, give him the damn candy bar.  That’ll shut him up.

Thanks to Ted for the heads up.

Tip #1 – Do not hunt with Republican elected officials.

Tip #2 – Never forget Tip #1

Oklahoma state Rep. Steve Vaughn (R) admitted to accidentally shooting a comrade on a hunting trip in March, according to The Oklahoman.

Vaughn said he apologized to fellow hunter Drew Ihrig after a shotgun pellet from the lawmaker’s 12-gauge shotgun struck Ihrig in the side of the head.

“I shot at the bird and, I guess, one of my BBs hit this guy,” Vaughn told The Oklahoman. “It could have bounced off a tree. He was in some trees. I really didn’t see him that good in the trees. And…it hit the side of his face. I didn’t even know I hit him.”

You’ve been warned.

Thanks to Charles for the heads up.

It is flat out no secret that the Voter ID bill in Texas is nothing more than a cheap trick to keep the elderly, disabled, and poor from voting.

However, now we might get to see the emails between members of the Lege about the Voter ID bill.

Any legislators’ emails that reveal a discriminatory motive for passing a 2011 Texas voter ID law, signed by Gov. Rick Perry (R), could soon come to light thanks to a federal judge’s recent ruling.

U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos issued an order late last weekdirecting the state of Texas to turn over legislators’ communications about the bill to the U.S. plaintiffs, on a confidential basis, by Tuesday. According to Texas, 189 state legislators had asserted legislative privilege over the documents to try to prevent this outcome.

Now, I know what “on a confidential basis” means.  However, you can bet your best pair of pink boots that the really juicy ones will find their way into court records and then be read aloud on the corner of Main and Capitol in downtown Houston with a bullhorn during the Go Texan  parade because, bygawd, I’m gonna do it.

Hell, those emails might as well plan to make the Book of the Month Club because they will making cahooting an Olympic sport.

Today is Equal Pay Day in Texas.  It marks the day where women’s salaries finally equal men’s from the previous year.  In Texas, women doing the same job with the same experience and the same education make 79 cents for every dollar a man makes.

During the last legislative session, State Representative Senfronia Thompson got bi-partisan support for the Texas version of the Lilly Ledbetter Act.  It passed overwhelmingly.

Rick Perry vetoed it.  He said that Macy’s and Kroger’s asked him to, and Rick always does what his corporate overlords ask of him.  That’s because we have scientific proof that Rick Perry is an idiot.

Join Senfronia Thompson and a boatload of women in Houston today to kick some dirt and cause a storm.  My county will be marking the day with a press conference at 6:00pm

A woman in Texas should not have to pay a ta-ta tax.  This crap is gonna stop.

He’s from Louisiana and they have movies.

Fifth District Congressman Vance McAllister, who campaigned for office last fall as a devout Christian and devoted husband and father, was caught in video surveillance two days before Christmas passionately embracing and kissing one of his congressional aides.

It happened on December 23rd of last year.  Yeah, two days before the birth of little baby Jesus.

Oh, but this one has an extra added treat.

Mega churches may not be a hell hole of adultery but they sure have real bad luck with having pastors who can keep their zippers up.

The latest is in Florida —

The senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale has resigned after confessing to cheating on his wife, according to WPLG Miami.

Calvary is one of the largest churches in Florida, with some 20,000 members who worship in 10 locations across the state.

Bob Coy, who is 58 years old and should know better, had no statement, thank goodness.
